APPLE

These people carry most of their weight around the tummy, but tend to have slim arms and legs. Apple shapes have a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and gall bladder disease.

HEART

These people have broad shoulders and chest and are narrow in the waist, hips, arms and thighs.

HOURGLASS

These people are the envy of them all, but aren't necessarily thin. The chest and hips measure roughly the same. The waist is small and the tummy is flat. These people look athletic and tend to weigh heavy on the scales.

RUNNER BEAN

These people basically have a slim, straight up and down shape, without many curves.

PEAR

These people have hips wider than their shoulders because their bodies store fat there and on the thighs. These people usually lose fat in the upper body, so their overall shape doesn't change much when they lose weight.
